Network Security Out in the Open for F5

F5 Networks commits to educating market on it’s security offerings.

F5 Networks is promoting itself as a specialist provider of network security technology, having developed expertise and success in the market. Kirby Wadsworth, VP of global marketing, says the company had been particularly successful in helping major enterprises defeat a range of high profile DDoS attacks. Australia, reports IT Wire, is one of the fastest growing regions in the world for F5 and that has been heavily driven by security.

"’Last Friday night in [F5 HQ in] Seattle, the executive committee made a massive commitment to investment in marketing and positioning to educate the marketplace worldwide about what we bring to the security table. A lot of people say we are the best kept secret in the security market. You will see that change with a large seven figure investment around security branding.’"
